RE: Switch Is Great
Hello Evan and list: You brought up that you can convert more than one file at a time with Switch (I also use this program) I had inquired about how to do this, but still don't really understand the steps! So since you brought that up, I'll ask my question again: how do you convert more than one file at a time with Switch? I am using the latest Jaws 15; Windows 7 Home 664 bit.

It's completely accessible with my Window Eyes 8.4; almost as though it was written that way, although I don't know that for sure. It's also simple and fast. There is a five files at a time limit on the free version, but that is easy to work around. You can select and open many more than five files and then convert five at a time until you get them all. However, for convenience, and because I think they deserve it for writing such a simple and accessible product, I am probably going to buy it. It says that it will also extract audio from DVD's and video files, although I haven't tried this yet. If that works as simply and accessibly as the audio conversions I've done so far, then that will make it even more worth the price. Thanks for putting me onto this. Oh, by the way, Dane, VBR is not on the list of filetypes that Switch will convert to, so I guess I will continue with M4A. Evan
Re: Switch Is Great
Will the program put itself as an option in the context menu? I've come in late to this thread, so where is this program obtained from? Thanks a lot. Matthew
Re: Switch Is Great
Yes it does put itself in the context menu. I just checked this with an audio file, so I'm sure about this. As to how to find it, just put Switch and NCH software into Google. When I did that, the first hit was the one I needed.

Re: Switch Is Great
If you hit the alt key to go into the menus, just before the Open Output Folder, the first item is Add File(s). Go into that dialogue box and then tab over to where the folders are with your audio files, CDs or whatever. Go into whichever folder that has files you want to convert and select them all. Then tab over to the Open button and hit space on that. The files you selected will appear in a list just before that Open Output Folder button. In the free version, if you select more than five files from that list, one of two things will happen. It will either convert only the first five, or it will tell you that the free version only does five files at a time, and pop up a Buy button. Both have happened to me so far. So just select the first five, and when those are done, select the next five and so on until you've converted them all. After you've converted all of the files from that list, make sure you remove them before starting another batch. Just select them all, go into that menu that begins with Add File(s) and arrow down to Remove All.

It works as well with NVDA including resetting for variable bit rate.

RE: Switch Is Great
That's how I use Switch (for changing bit rate) but somehow I am just not getting the hang of converting more than one file at a time! It seemed to do it but, well I don't even know how to explain! Somehow it's not converting; or maybe it is and I just don't know it! Guess I just need clearer instructions! Even's instructions aren't bad; I guess I'm just (as my grandmother used to say hard to understand!

Re: Switch Is Great
Hey /Tom, Do you know where the converted files are supposed to go? When I installed it, they were set by default to go to the Music folder, and I just left it that way for the present to test it out. But that's in Windows Vista, that may be different for different operating systems. But you can check on that by simply tabbing through the buttons without even going into any menus. Maybe it's converting and you just can't find the converted files. What happens when you tell it to convert something? For me, it tells me what file it is working on and the percentages every so often. If it does that for you, then I would say that it's converting something, but you just may need to check to see where it's putting the files it converts.
